Something happened. Something huge happened. America voted a new leader. Donald J. Trump became our president. From the elections where we were voting between two evils, we voted for President Trump. Immediately following the elections came an uproar of negativity on social media, opinions and chaos.
I have something to share with those who chose to participate in the negativity and hatred that broke out immediately following the elections.
My ladies- a presidential election doesn't make us any less of women! It doesn't define our limits, our abilities, and our boundaries. An election cannot divide us as a gender and support system. We will keep growing. We will keep succeeding. We will continue to show our power! To the other minorities that have been affected: Same goes for you. Stick to your beliefs, keep building your future and your successes will come from you!
To those of you who put others down in this time that we should've stuck together- I cannot respect those who've posted degrading statuses or statements regarding those who did not vote or voted for the opposing party. What really freaked me out was that the people who stood for love, equality and freedom during the elections, began putting people down for THEIR political beliefs and opinions- don't you think that is a bit contradicting? I saw so many statuses about "hillbillies" being the reason Trump was chosen as president and that they didn't want anything to do with anyone that didn't vote, voted for the 3rd party, or that voted for Trump. Isn't that considered discrimination? Isn't that a reason why people may feel divided after this historical night? Having hatred towards these people is a negative thing too.
Something that really scared me about these elections was the wave of doom that came over those who were against Trump. There is nothing worse for a nation than fear, and that all comes from within. Yes, there is a reason to fear when bad things happen. No, there is no reason to cause chaos due to uncertainty. We cannot allow uncertainty to control our mindsets or we will fall into a trap where we are deciding our own (negative) future.
All that being said, I don't like to get involved with politics, but I do like to speak about ideas and opinions. My heart goes out to everyone hurt by these elections and who are fearing for their futures. However, my heart will not tolerate the hatred that came from this crazy night. I always like to say that everything will be OK. You're alive, the sky is not falling, you have the freedom to feel and say what you want! Only you can hurt yourself. Spread love, spread equality and spread positivity. Let's keep this nation from dividing. Let us take this election and allow it to be a means of connectivity and pushing forward together for the future.
